MORMONS AT THE PLAY.
A Rather Singular Performance In tn
Salt Lake City Theater.

A Rather Singular Performance In the
Salt Lake City Theater.
A performance at the theater being
announced for that evening, we deter
mined to go and see the Mormons I'M
der the influence of the drama. The
theater is 3 large, well-proportioned
building, with four galleries, rather
dingy, but much better than any thea
ter in Eastern towns of the size of Salt
Lake City The audience was largely
composed of women. Groups of four
or six of these were attended by one
man, and many of them came quite
without escort. They were dressed, if
without taste, without vulgarity, and
among the younger ones [ saw several
very pretty girlish faces, some of which
would have been more attractive if an
improvement on Natures colors had
not been attempted. The appearance
of the men was infinitely repulsive.
Coarse and heavy faces they had, for
the most part with stupid, animal ex-
preston. had almost written, british
faces. Hard faces, too, without mo-
bility or kindliness. They wear the
beard full, with upper lip shaven. If the
mouth is the tell-tale feature of the face,
as is often said, it is as well, possibly,
that the majority of mankind wear it
covered, for the tale these Mormon
mouths told was not a pleasant one to
read. Many nationalities were to be
traced in the assembly - pale-faced
Swedes and ruddy Welsh folk; the
sandy Scotchman was not wanting,
nor yet the swalthy Chinese; but best
among them all to see was the delicate
face of Gentle, a young officer from
the fort near by, sitting alone amid a
group of saints, who regarded him
with any thing but amiable glances.
1t was the opening night of Mr..
Raymond's engagement, and the play
chosen we thought singular one
Fresh, the American is familiar to
many theater goers, but was quite new
to us. 1t is the story of an Egyptian
Princess, who has been educated in
Paris, and is finally recalled to her
fathers harean, where she inveighs
against the horror of his dozen wives
from whose envious society she is
finally rescued by Fresh, the American.
"Think," said Fresh, "of fifty mothers
in law! | knew man who was once
talked to death by ONE ''Do not
force me, father cries the heroine,
s'to become the wretched chattel of
this infamous man, to share what he
calls his love, with a dozen other
Wretches who call themselves his
wives" Many such hits, which were
home-thrusts, were listened to silently
by the audience, from whom we ex-
pected every moment some disorder or
remonstrance. But all was quiet, and
in the second act, where the plot
turned a little from these offensive
points, the people laughed heartily and
applauded with enthusiasm. 1t was a
bold thing, this carrying the war into
the enemy's country, and we respected
Mr.. Raymond for it. Twenty years
ago would net have taken all of his
millions to stand in his place. Utah

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Don't forget the daily allowance
of salt.-N. 2. Farmer.
Why leave stains on cups and
saucers-the dishes most often stained
when these may be removed by rub
bling with ashes?
Nobody has seen ground narrowed
too much for the preparation of wheat,
for it is hardly possible to get too fine
filth.
To find out the faults of your
horses, offer them for sale. To learn
the good qualities of other mems
horses try to buy them.
DO not use fertilizers too lavishly
on potted plants. A small quantity
applied frequently is better than full
allowance at one time.
The great object in feeding is to
make the most gain with the least cost.
You must therefore have your hogs
grow and fatten at the same time
Make your hot-bed frames in Sec
tons, so that they can be stored away
when not in use. 1t is much better
than allowing them to remain on the
ground to become useless.
Use the brush freely upon your
animal. A good stiff brush is the
proper thing. When horse coat
shines, your mind will be at ease, and
when it is rough and stands on end,
you may be sure the horse is suffering
Prairie Farmer.
1t is not good policy to dry hay to
brittleness before drawing it from the
meadow, for that causes waste in hand

well-cured when it will rattle lightly
in the handling, and then is the time
to store it.-Westerm Rural.
In beating cake beat from the bot

stop beating, or your cake will be

Since the Oxford and Shropshire
Down sheep have been bred in this
country the quality of the mutton in
the market has been greatly improved,

attention to mutton sheep instead of
combining their operations exclusively
to the production of wool.

salt and the same of soda. Bake in q
hot oven in well-greased tins. Muf-
fins of all kinds should only be cut
just around the edge, then pulled open
with the fingers. Good Housekeeping.
Baked Eggs-Put a tablespoonful of
butter in pie-plate, and set in the
oven until it melts and begins to
smoke. Take it to the table and
break six eggs one by one into Il cup,
pouring each in turn into the melted
butter carefully. Sprinkle with pep
per and salt, put a tiny bit of butter
on each and set in the oven to bake
until the eggs are ''set,' that is. when

WAITING ON A DOG.

Dear Angelina, tell me, pray,
In simple words and brief,
When life's rough cares upon you weigh,
How do you find relief?
My dear Amanda, she replies,
When daily troubles clog,
find no other way so wise
AS waiting on dog.
To visit homes where sufferers pine,
And help the humber poor,
With taste and culture such as mine,
never could endure;
But when the weary hours draw nigh,
And move with heavy jog.
know no earthly JOY so high,
AS waiting on a dog.
To keep him blanketed and warn
In tasteful, comedy dress,
To hold him gently in my arms.
And share his sweet caress;
Owhen the burdens press me sore
And my poor mind befog,
No earthly good can soothe me more
Than waiting on dog
So, dear Amanda, cheer thee upl
And to my words give heed;
Go buy some small and winsome pup,
OF choice ana dainty breed;
Your higher faculties, fear,
May meet some dreadful shog
Unless you learn from year to year
To wait upon dog,

Interstate Commerce.

The Interstate Commerce bill passed
the Senate by vote OF ~ to ID AMI
in the House 2l7 voted for the meas
urc and IL against it. This over
whelming vote indicates the recog-
nizcd necessity for some such leglsla-
ton, although it is by no means GER
tain that the bill which now but awaits
executive approval to become law
will afford it. 1t is very difficult
matter to frame a law that may be
lust in all respects, and a trial alone
will demonstrate the wisdom or futllity
Of some of its provisions. The railroad
companies would doubtless welcome
any measure that may relieve them of
much of the blame that attaches from
apparent iucongruous acts which the
complex laws of trade alone govern.
The reasons for adopting policy that
sometimes appears unjust are not al
ways as plainly seen and understood
by the mass of the people as by those
upon whom decision is forced by ne
cessity. Hence the clamOr for some
action by Congress that seemed be-
yond the power of State legislation to
regulate.
The responsibility for the measure
whatever may be its results, must be
assumed by the Democratic party
Three successive Interstate Commerce
bills have passed the House of Repre-
sentatives, with a Democratic majority
to be defeated in the Republican Sen
ate. Let us hope that the measure
will be productive only OF good results
and that It's obnoxious features, if any
exist, will be eliminated soon as rrac-
teal results bring them to the knowl
edge of the trainers of the supreme
law OF the land.

A HELENA dispatch of late date
says that the Supreme Court of that
Territory has affirmed the judgment
of the inferior court in the case of the
United States VS.. the Northern Pacific
Railroad, which involves over 81 600, ;
600 and was taken up on appeal from
the Second district. The United
States sued to recover for timber cut
by the railroad company from unsur-
veyed government lands on odd sec
tons which they had earned, although
the Land Department has always held
that under the constitution the United
States has complete control over all
the public domain and that there are
no odd sections of land until they are
officially delineated by the govern
ment. The position taken by the Uni
ted States in this suit seems to con-
cede some rights and proprietorship in
the Timber Act along the line by the
company, from the fact the suit was
brought to obtain an accounting to
the United States as joint tenant
Judge Wade's opinion was An elaborate
one, and contains many fine points.
The principal grounds upon which
the decision is based, however, is the
fact that it is duty of the United
States to survey lands, and tina. the
negligence of the United States to sur
vey the land is no fault of the COM
pany; that this failure not only worked
harm to the company, but to the pub
lie, in not rendering it available for
the settlement of said lands, which is
in direct opposition to the purpose for
which the road was aided with grants
